' HYDE/O CARBON BURNER.

Application filed October 31; 1924; Serial No. 746,971. Itenewcil'Novenibcr 8, 1926.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a hydrocarbonburner.

One object of the invention is to provide a burner specially designedfor use in stoves, whereby a liquid fuel such as kerosene and otherliquid hydrocarbon may be utilized a fuel.

Another object of the invention is to provide a burner whereby the flamewill be distributed throughout the combustion cham-- her.

A further feature of the invention resides in a hydrocarbon burnerhaving an improved type of discharge nozzle.

With the above and other objects in view. the invention has particularrelation to certain novel features of construction, opera tion andarrangement of parts, an example of which is given in this specificationand illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 shows anend view of the complete burner as mounted in the cook stove.

Figure 2 shows an end view of the discharge nozzle.

Figure 3 shows a longitudinal sectional view thereof.

Figure 4 shows a fragmentary sectional view of a flame distributor takenon the line 4-t of Figure 6.

Figure 5 shows a side view of the burner partly in section, taken on theline 5-5 of I Figure 6, and

Figure 6 shows a fragmentary plan view thereof partly in section.

Referring now more particularly to the drawings, wherein like numeralsof refer ence designate similar parts in each of the figures. thenumeral 1 designates the cook stove as a whole, showing the burnermounted in the fire box thereof. The numeral 2 designates the generatingchamber which in the present instance is shown as a relatively shortpipe section having the end caps 8, 3, threaded thereon. This generatingchamber preferably filled with asbestos 4E wrapped before insertion withforaminated material such as screen wire. A relatively wide pan 5 islocated in the combustion chamber, whose sides 6, 6, only are extendedupwardly and the ends of the chamber 2 are fitted through one of thecaps 3. and is equipped controlled. Leading out from the other end capthere is a vapor line 9 which has the branches 10 and 11. The branch 10is curved downwardly and terminates in a discharge nozzle 12, which isdirected toward, but spaced from the generating chamher 2. The otherbranch line 11 is parallel with the sides 6 and its end is turned. andterminates in the discharge nozzle 13 which projects through the rearwall 6. The burner nozzles are constructed as shown in Figures 2 and 3,and consist of a hollow plug having a small discharge opening as 14:.These nozzles are screwed into the respective elbows forming the ends ofthe lines 10 and 11, respectively, as shown. The fuel enters thegenerator through the line 7, and eventually finds its way to the nozzle12, where it may be ignited. The flame is directed toward the generatingchamber and soon heats the same, converting the fuel therein into vaporwhichissues out through the burner nozzles 12 and 13. and when ignitedprovides flames which are projected continuously against the generatingchamber and through'th-e nozzle 13, respectively. The fuel being in theform of vapor is practically all consumed and the burner thus createsvery little smoke and soot, resulting in substantially a completecombustion of the fuel.

If desired a flame distributor may be employed. This distributorconsists of av tube 15 which is fitted around the nozzle 13, at one end,and whose other end may be formed into branches 16, 16 which lie uponthe transverse partition 17 of stove 1, for support. The rear ends ofthe branches 16 are open and have the upwardly curved deflectors l8, 18.The upper sides of the branches have the perforations 19 which areprovided with the forwardly declining aprons 20 forming flamedeflectors. The deflectors 18 and 20 serve to deflect the flamesupwardly and the distributor, as a whole, serves to distribute the flameissuing from the nozzle 13. The tube 15 has an air inlet 21 to providefor the free inlet of air to the nozzle 13 to support combustion.

There is a transverse partition 22 in the pan 5 above the chamber 2,provided for the purpose of deflecting the flame from the nozzle 12 sothat it will pass underneath the chamber 2, and along the pan 5, thussecuring a better distribution of the flame.

lVhat I claim is The combination with a pan having no wardly extendingsides, of an oil burner including a generating chamber whose ends arefitted through said sides. a fuel delivery line entering one end of saidchamber, a

vapor line leading out from the other end of said chamber, said vaporline separating into branches, one of said branches being downwardlycurved, a discharge nozzle carried by said downwardly curved end anddirected toward, but spaced from said generating chamber, the free endof the other branch projecting through therear wall of said pan, and adischarge nozzle carried by said last mentioned end.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
